COVID-19 rapid guideline: antibiotics for pneumonia in adults in hospital

1st May 2020

NICE has published rapid guidance to Antibiotics for pneumonia in adults in hospital

The guidance is intended to help ensure the best antibiotic management of suspected or confirmed bacterial pneumonia in adults in hospital during the COVID‑19 pandemic. This includes people presenting to hospital with moderate to severe community-acquired pneumonia and people who develop pneumonia while in hospital. It will enable services to make the best use of NHS resources.

BSAC contributed to development of the guideline through the consultation process.
